[PieSzy]

I would like to share with you my Armored Batman build.
I used eva foam 5mm for most parts. Files from Aztlan.
What do you think?

[Ishida Mitsu]

Looks bloody awesome!
One of the best I've seen.

[xl97]

how does this one compare to other pep projects?


(I have never done pep before.. but this looks tempting!)

 

[airair]

that looks amazing! what are you using for the eye lighting?
absolutely brilliant

 

[PieSzy]

I've used Aztlan's files (link to his fp: https://www.facebook.com/AZTLAN-294864933938214/?fref=ts). I have to say that his files are amazing!

For lenses I've used transparent foil glued together with white mesh (net). For the lights I've used LED stripes.
Something like that:

This is probably a noob question but what do you use to fill the seams between two pieces of foam? It looks amazing btw

 

[PieSzy]

Thanks!
I use cyanoacrylate glue instead hot glue. Thanks to this ormally i don't have gaps between two pieces of foam.

Looks great! Awesome job! What did you use to seal the foam before painting?

 

[PieSzy]

I've sealed my armor with wood glue (4-5 thin layers on each part).

 

[TKRalph]

Couldn't see any brush streaks. Great job!

I'm a little late to the party here, but that looks absolutely amazing. I have a couple questions though, as I'm thinking of making a suit for myself.

you said you used mostly 5mm foam. Isn't that a bit thin? Is the foam sturdy enough not to bend when moving around?

Also what kind of painting process did you use to get that metallic, weathered. look? Are those real cuts in the foam? Or just a really good looking paint job to make it look like cuts.

What did you use for the cloth undersuit?

Are his files for fom smooth? Seems like on other proples files if something is curved it has hard lines and angles instead or curves.

Iyou said you used mostly 5mm foam. Isn't that a bit thin? Is the foam sturdy enough not to bend when moving around?

I've added some extra foam from the inside of my suit in more flexible places (especially chest part and thighs). I did not want to use too thick foam because it's easier to maintain all details with thin foam.

Also what kind of painting process did you use to get that metallic, weathered. look? Are those real cuts in the foam? Or just a really good looking paint job to make it look like cuts.

I've used silver acrylic spray paint for the base and then i've used black paint for the wash technique. After this I've highlighted edges with silver paint. For cuts i've used sharp paper knife and heater gun. Cuts finely open up after treating them with heat.

What did you use for the cloth undersuit?

I used thermoactive underwear with similar pattern. Additionally I've made simple musce suit (Affleck is soo big )

Are his files for fom smooth? Seems like on other proples files if something is curved it has hard lines and angles instead or curves.

These files are great. I tried building this armor with free files but I wasn't satisfied with the results.
